Killzone 3 in April 2011, too?
Hot on the heels of the Gears of War 3 release date rumor, a Killzone 3 release date rumor has risen. What’s interesting about this rumor is that is says Guerilla Games is planning to go head-to-head with Gears of War 3 and will release Killzone 3 also in April 2011.
What adds even more heat to this fire is the fact that rumors have already been circulating that Killzone 3 will be both 3D and able to use Playstation Move. If these are true, it may be what will give Killzone 3 the edge over Gears.

Gears of War 3 in April 2011?
Gears of War 2 dropped on November 7th, 2008 so it would only make sense that Epic would make an announcement about a sequel at some point soon. Well, they haven’t made an announcement but rumors have just surfaced that say the game will be out in April, 2011.
The reason Epic is planning the game so late is so they can miss both the Halo: Reach and Project Natal launches both of which are due later this year. Missing these major launches will give Gears of War 3 the spot light like it deserves.

StarCraft 2 still planned for first half of 2010
It seems that the StarCraft 2 beta is panning out quite well because the game is still slated for release in the first half of this year. News comes from the latest BlizzCast podcast where Blizzard stated that the beat will last between 3-5 months with the game’s release still being targeted for the first half of this year.
After the beta, which should end by June, there’s no telling exactly when Blizzard will release the game. They will undoubtedly have some bugs and what not to sort out and then press the game and ship it to retail. Let’s hope it’s not long after the beta ends.
DSiXL gets release date, price
It’s been quite some time since we saw the unveiling of the DSiXL but Nintendo has yet to give us a North American release date and/or price for the device. If you weren’t aware, the DSiXL is exactly what it sounds like, an extra large Nintendo DSi.
Anyways, Nintendo has finally released word about it’s North American availability and it is set to drop on March 28th of this year for a none-too-bad $189.99.
For those waiting for a DS2, the XL will most likely be Nintendo’s last iteration of the DS as a DS2 with motion sensing is rumored to be in testing.

Select GameStops selling Modern Warfare 2 early?
Modern Warfare 2 isn’t supposed to launch until 12am tonight, as you most likely already know, but it seems that some GameStops in the North East have broken the street date.
Kotaku says that one such retailer was quoted to have said that they were given permission by Activision to start handing out the title a day early to which they quickly responded:
“Activision has not given any retailer permission to sell Modern Warfare 2 prior to the Nov. 10 street date. The company fully supports the Nov.10 street date.”
On the other hand, if you did get your hands on the game early you don’t have to worry about getting the banhammer as Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling pushed out the following tweet:
“ANY store selling #MW2 early is in violation of street date. There are no “special permissions”. That said, we won’t punish players for it.”
Bayonetta coming on January 5th

If you know nothing about Bayonetta, just know that Famitsu recently gave the game the first ever perfect score for an Xbox 360 title. Need I say any more?

If you’re a fan of the Need for Speed series and are looking for a hardcore racer, this most likely isn’t the game for you.

GameStop listing hints at release date, price for Super Street Fighter IV
A recent GameStop listing spotted by I Play Winner has let us know that Super Street Fighter IV will hit store shelves on March 23, 2010 for $39.99.
While this sounds about right considering the previously announced release window and the fact that it is essentially a SF4 add-on, don’t put too much stock in it as GameStop has been known for putting up estimated information as a place holder.
In other words, we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Capcom before we mark this one as confirmed.
LittleBigPlanet PSP title hitting on November 17th
The first we heard of a LittleBigPlanet PSP title was all the way back in February when it was announced alongside MotorStorm. At the time it was only said to be hitting store shelves sometime this year.
However, Sony has today announced that the PSP title will be hitting store shelves in North America on November 17th, 2009.
Sony hasn’t said much regarding the contents of the game but they have said that it will feature a massive DLC library, something that made the PS3 LittleBigPlanet title very popular.
